Students with Disabilities
Hood College actively supports the rights of students with disabilities to have equal access to education. In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Hood makes every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of students with disabilities.
Students who have a disability are asked to notify the director of accessibility services (the Student Success Center) as soon as possible. Early notification prevents delays in initiation of services and ensures the student full access to educational activities. The director, in consultation with the student, prepares a plan for services and forwards authorization for specified services (such as note taking and interpreting) to the appropriate offices on campus. Students requiring ASL interpreters should visit the ASL Interpreter Requests webpage at https://www.hood.edu/academics/josephine-steiner-student-success-center/asl-interpreter-cart-services-requests.
